Stellar Customer Service

"Sweetwater has the best customer service of any online music technology dealer. Their sales personnel are the best in the business. Justin Kessler has helped me every step of the way in choosing my keyboards, mixer and studio monitors. He is the consumate professional. Their tech support is of the highest caliber. Made it super easy to return a defective subwoofer. Anthony Butler's expertise help me solve a software problem I had getting my midi controller keyboard to work. There is no other music retailer like Sweetwater for top-notch customer service."

Sweetwater is a super store with exceptional service

"One of my favorite things about shopping at Sweetwater is that they assign you a sales rep who always handles your account. You can shop in privacy without interference, or you can ask the rep questions, and he quickly replies with suggestions and answers. The rep also communicates with you through the process until your item(s) arrive at your door. They also send you a small bag of candy just for buying from them! I have bought from several online stores over the years and most are pretty good to deal with, but Sweetwater is my favorite because of the personal service. Everything goes through your sales rep, so whatever you need, you always just have to contact the same person, and he will take care of it!"

This is a buying experience you'll remember!

"The website was clean and easy to navigate. The descriptions of the products were detailed and the photography was excellent. Placing an order was easy. The site said I'd get the product in 7-8 days with free shipping. I got it in 3 days. AND THEN I got a call from one of the Sweetwater account reps to make sure everything arrived OK and that I was satisfied with my order and experience. WHO DOES THAT? This has been an amazing buying experience. NOTE TO OTHER RETAILERS ON THE WEB: buy something...anything...from Sweetwater and then learn what it takes to compete with Amazon! File it under "Customer Service"!"

Awesome company to work with

"I thought I had an issue with a guitar that I had purchased from Sweetwater. The guys there went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my purchase. Special shout out to Chuck the owner, David my sales engineer, Dylan, Casey, and Ryan (guitar tech).
I am now a lifetime customer of Sweetwater. I totally recommend sending your guitar in for a Pro PLEK. You will not be sorry. I had to check the serial number of my Strat to make sure they sent me the same one back! The Pro PLEK makes such a huge difference even on a new guitar. Thanks again guys for the awesome customer service!

Shipping was also faster than expected. Guitar was double boxed and secure.
